Professor donations
1. Max Bazerman – Lunch at Veggie Planet (5)
Many say “as if negotiations wasn’t enough…” 5 lucky souls will have the
opportunity to dine with Max at Veggie Planet in Harvard Square. Proclaimed
“a winner” by diners, patrons exalt its “tasty, yet simple dishes” in a “cozy,”
“unpretentious atmosphere” below Club Passim. Dishes are “delightfully”
prepared “by James Beard’s nominee Didi Emmons.” Many plates “will excite
even those who typically prefer, um, meat.” So, throw those reservation
prices out the window. If you can’t find a ZOPA here, you’re wrong, stupid,
dumb…oh, wait, we’re not in class anymore. In any case, menu available at
http://www.veggieplanet.net/veggieplanet.htm
2. Clark Gilbert – Lunch at Faculty Club (3)
Ah, Clark. What a surprise. For those who don’t know, Spangler is the step-
child of The Faculty Club, HBS’ most fabulous dining hall. Atop Kresge, “the
club” offers an extraordinary opportunity for 3 lucky lads and ladies to be
wined and dined by our very own Prof. Gilbert. Choose from among chicken
stir fry, tuna salad sandwiches….there’s even a pasta station. Top it off with
chocolate bread pudding…all while rubbing elbows with Harvard’s most elite
professors and visiting dignitaries.
3. Kim Clark – Golf (0 – 3: joint section bidding)
Perfect for those who are good at golf or riddled with 4’s, Dean Clark offers
3 students the opportunity to play a round of golf with him on Sept. 27th,
most likely at Oakley Country Club. Each section auctions off a spot and the
3 spots will go to the 3 highest bidders across sections. Three highest
bidders have a chance to take a spot since it is possible for all the high bids
to come from one section.
4. Rob Huckman – 4 tickets to Red Sox (4)
Our very own Robbie, who fanned the flames of so many Bhammers hearts,
continues his quest for eternal cuteness by offering four tickets for a Red
Sox game with him and 4 students from Section F. Viewed from afar by many

are in rows 6 & 7 of section 40).
5. Ken Froot – Dinner (2)
Anita Tickle—eat your heart out. Ken’s donation includes dinner for 2. Like
our experience in Fin2, no one knows the answer to the questions of “where?”
or “when?” but…it’s sure to be a good time. Unless otherwise controlled, he
will come prepared to talk about 'the puzzles of insurance markets'!!!!!”
6. Laura Alfaro – Tequilas (4)
Live la vida loca with Laura and 4 Bhammers as she takes some lucky few for a
night out---latin style. Tequilas, margaritas, beer, wine, or water…gay or

TBD: her boyfriend’s attendance.
7. Joel Podolny – cocktail party at Joel’s (8)
“Dear Richard, please let your section know that my wife and I would be
pleased to offer up a cocktail party for 8 at a mutually agreed to date. The
party could either be either this spring, summer, or when students return in
the fall.“
8. Terry Burnham – Trading lessons or negotiation tips (1-2)
This one’s a winner. Stock Trading: Two meetings. The first to discuss some
specific stocks/trades. We will end the first meeting with some predictions
about coming market action. If the students are active traders, they might
want to make some trades based on discussion #1. The second meeting will
examine the decisions/trades made in meeting #1. Meeting #2 will probably
be 2-4 weeks after the first meeting.
Negotiations tip: You will be provided with Terry’s lifetime e-mail. When you
get that promotion, or that new job, e-mail him with your contact info, and he
will provide you with negotiating tips.

bath home with vaulted ceilings and working fireplace for a festive paella

mutually agreeable to all parties.
10. Dennis Yao – Dinner at Legal Seafood (4)

isn’t legal” is known almost by as many people as “If it isn’t a Guatemalan
monkey, it doesn’t cluck.”
Funnies
11. Chuck: 2 – Three standing ovations (1)
As if they weren’t overused already, you, too, can have your very own set of 3
standing ovations. Need a confidence boost? Want to show-up a parent? Or,
do you have something really great to say? If so, then act now to ensure
three standing ovations of your choosing, courtesy of the clapping rep. You
can buy it for someone else.

princesses will clean your toilet and boots, kitchen and bedroom especially for
you! That’s right, Maid service that’s hotter than hot. You can buy it for
someone else.

14. Ovi: 1 week in skydeck
Not so lucky with the new seating chart? Missing your good old sky deck
heaven? Tired of upfront exposure to Laura's cold calls and Clark's
jokes? Wish you could play solitaire without being bothered by Denis's
trips up and down the isles? Or just about to give any hope to actually
find out how life looks like seen from the sky deck?
Here's your chance: The (arguably) best seat in class could be yours for a
whole week!!!
 Relax and enjoy life away from the attention span of the profs - no
cold calls so far this semester!
 Build up your spider solitaire skills away from the indiscretion
of any prof!
 Participate in class interaction at your own discretion, when and
if you feel like it!
Not convinced yet? Here are some more advantages you will enjoy:
 Sit next to Megan, Colleen, Z, Majid and Marisa - they will all talk to
you, guaranteed! (Since they need to make it to their own seats,
every morning)
 See if you can read all the secret IMs directly off Marisa's screen!
(Marisa, pls read the disclaimer before suing me)
 Arrive late at your own discretion. Yes, even later than Joon - the
distance from door to the seat is so short, hardly anybody will ever
notice when you enter the room!
 Enjoy a direct front view of Joe when he cracks that finance case
again. Also great seat to be a contemporary witness to Werner's
unique rhetoric!
 Witness Apu's progress at (another) new game of Civilization! Finally
find out how good Jeremy is at Hearts!
 Unleash your creative energy and help Rahul and the others draft
the strategy for the next skydecks
Fine prints: this email contains certain forward looking statements, that should be taken as
such. You cannot actually read Marisa's instant messages, no matter how hard you try. Rumors that
you cannot always hear what Joon, Joohee and Pankaj say are actually true. Being late might have
some adverse effects on your class participation, though a clear correlation has not been proven
yet. Actual conversations with Z start with lines such: "Good morning, Ovi!", "Ovi, move it!!" and the
all famous: "Ovi, move your bum!!". The seat is previously owned and will be handed over on an as-is
Section B Auction Items
basis. Majid's haircut will occupy up to 30% of your view at times, if you actually try to spot
somebody in the worm deck. From up here, Ulrik is a hand and Lee a voice. I am not sure to this day
who actually sits to Miriam's left. Noam always notices when you're late and dutifully writes you
down for the next skydecks. There is no face value of this offering, though little kids in times of
hardship count on your generosity! The second highest bidder must not pay the offered price,
unless s/he necessarily wants to. The week in question is 04/28 - 05/02. Evidence that a sky deck
seat improves your internship chances is only anecdotal.

of our historian.

Invaders, etc.
18. Apu: 1 – Silence of Apu
Apu, we love you—now shut up. Tired of India-this and Microsoft-that, all
the while knowing he’s really, really smart? Here’s your chance to give Arijit
(pronounced Apu) the silent treatment with the prize being ONE WHOLE
DAY without a peep from our very own debating champion. Note: Does too
apply to non-verbal communication, fits of laughter for no reason, or violent
nods in agreement.
19. Dessy, Gaurav, Molli – Bedtime Story
Though the details of the story are TBD, who can’t love the thought of a

55. Noam – original artworks (1)
A driving force behind turn-of-the-century German Materialism, Leslau had a
traumatic childhood, and was expelled (at age 5) from his home country by
German authorities due to political agitation and hooliganism. He sought
asylum in the United States, and found a new home in a small, rural community
south of San Francisco.
Leslau’s innovative cut-and-paste technique has earned broad critical acclaim.
In the words of New York Times’ art critic Nancy Rosen:
“Most of the post-modern and contemporary art
of the second half of the 20th century—Warhol,
Lichtenstein, Haring— is merely a foreshadowing
of the profound artistic impact Leslau will have
on the American—no, wait, human!— psyche.”
This three-piece work entitled Fuck you, Rahul is a homage to America and a
reflection of Leslau’s trajectory from political prisoner and refugee to
Northern California dirtbag to New York corporate sell-out. Fuck you, Rahul
is one of the few Leslau’s available works in any auction house worldwide. His
other works have recently sold on eBay for well over US$30 (including next-
day shipping costs).
